Initial comparison of the glycosylated and deglycosylated protein batches indicated similar activities and properties, although minor, borderline significant, differences were observed in, for example, substrate binding and melting point (not shown).

p values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant, whereas p values of 0.05 to 0.10 were described as borderline significant. 3.

While low Hb (cut-off 9.5 g/l) was a significant predictor of poorer outcomes in the PFS univariable analysis, its significance diminished in the multivariable model, becoming only borderline significant.

For participants exercising <150-minute/week, higher weekly exercise duration exhibited a borderline significant reduction in DR risk after multivariable adjustment (HR = 0.997; 95% CI = 0.993–1.000), although univariate results were not significant (HR = 0.705; 95% CI = 0.532–0.933).

, 2012 ), however, we did not detect any significant correlation between summary AMIPB scores and hippocampal V S for the individuals with TLE (but observed a borderline significant correlation when pooled with the controls).

During exploratory analyses, one may wish to increase the type-I error rate and allow variables that would otherwise be borderline significant or insignificant into the set of selected predictors.

Identification of prognostic factors In the initial step, we identified six significant or borderline significant factors that were associated with OS in the univariate analysis, including serum LDH, serum CRP, AMC, ECOG PS, number of organs involved, and liver metastasis (Table S1 ).

The increasing proportions of men and people <65 years over time were both borderline significant in the total sample, but no trend was seen in the samples of suicides or suicide attempts.

Interestingly, we observed negative associations of branched‐chain amino acids (BCAAs) and aromatic amino acids (AAAs) with unintentional weight loss, although some were borderline significant, even after adjusting for protein intake, contrary to findings in obesity (Ahmad et al., 2022 ), weight gain (Wahl et al., 2015 ) and diabetes (Guasch‐Ferré et al., 2016 ; Long et al., 2020 ) among adults but is consistent with those for sarcopenia in older individuals (Lu et al., 2020 ).

Looking in more detail at the next ISCO level, 2-digit codes, borderline significant ORs greater than 1 were observed for agricultural and animal husbandry workers (ISCO code 62) and labourers not elsewhere classified (ISCO code 99), 1.5 and 2.3, respectively.

Indeed, in one of the most recent analyses [13] , the odds of ST with DAT vs TAT increased 60%, with a number needed to treat (NNT) for a harmful outcome (NNTH) of 274 and an associated borderline significant increase of MI (NNTH = 151) ( Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 ).

A borderline significant relationship was seen between CCI < 0.90 and local control in the univariate analyses (HR 0.11p = 0.049, 95 %CI: 0.01–0.99).

When adjusting for age, osteoporosis remained statistically significant for males and was borderline significant associated with increased risk of death in females.

For all analyses, the P < 0.05 was considered borderline significant.

In line with those studies, a meta-analysis that included 12 studies demonstrated a borderline significant inverse association between parity (versus nulliparity) and RA (RR 0.90, 95% CI 0.79–1.02), and a significant nonlinear inverse relation between parity number and the risk of RA [ 95 ].

A borderline significant relative survival benefit was observed in MET-treated patients compared with non-MET-treated patients [hazard ratio (HR), 0.80; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.62–1.03] in a pooled analysis of four publications containing 1,429 patients ( 33 ).

Our data show a borderline significant association between relatively increased lysine levels (within normal to low values) and poor prognosis, calling for new investigations on the mechanisms of lysine transport and metabolism in LPI patients.

First, when all women were analyzed together, a borderline significant finding was detected for the relation between gut microbiota species diversity and markers of glucose metabolism and low-grade inflammation.

Remarkably, TPO values (postoperative fold increase) were lower in LD patients of both tumor types (borderline significant in mCRC patients).

An increase in days of insecticide spraying was significantly associated with increased HDL and LDL, and a borderline significant increase in total cholesterol.

This association was borderline significant when only age and the interaction between age and sleep problems were considered.

Our findings indicated that smoking cessation lowered mortality risk by up to 59% in patients treated with surgery alone, although the reduction in death risk was borderline significant.

When analyzed by univariable models, vitamin D deficiency significantly increased HR for a CSS event in women, while for men it had borderline significant detrimental effect.

When stratified by study design, we found borderline significant result in cohort study (RR = 0.97; 95% CI = 0.93–1.00), with low heterogeneity ( I 2 = 15.3%, P for heterogeneity = 0.31).
